Hamble Wrecks

A few more remains of boats on the Hamble, this first one was presumably steel constriction with that very square cabin which lies on the east shore alongside the footpath causeway opposite Port Hamble. There's a great report by the Maritime Archeology Trust which shows this as HAM047 -"a substantially complete metal wreck of approximately 15m in length, consisting of a large amount of hull structure from the bow to just aft of a raised cabin."

Further upriver but in the lagoon by Bunny Meadows la the remains of something larger which may be HAM050 Motor Minesweeper - "From initial observations it is apparent that this hulk is the remains of an incomplete wooden vessel (Figure HAM050-1). It is lying upright, with a list towards the starboard quarter. The bow and stern sections have been cleanly cut and removed, leaving a central section of about 13m in length"

 

 I can't find any reference to this one which is well hidden up the top of Badnam Creek, there's more to see at low water, but the only time to get up there is at highs.

Seems to be in part steel construction with these bollards welded to the rail, perhaps a small tug?
